This is not a long post about India's freedom struggle or when & how we got our independence.
We just celebrated our Republic Day on the 26th of Jan. A lot of people (including the Indians themselves) don't really know the difference between 'independence day' & 'republic day'. So here's a tid-bit to get rid of that ignorance or confusion.
India was a colony, being ruled by the British, we gained our independence or freedom on August 15, 1947. - However, India did not have a constitution at the time.
- The final (hand-written) Hindi & English versions of the constitution were signed & sealed on January 24, 1950.
- Thereafter, India's constitution came into force on January 26, 1950. That is the day we truly became a republic.
